Phase dependent modulation of tremor amplitude in essential tremor through thalamic stimulation [PDF]

, 2013
High frequency deep brain stimulation of the thalamus can help ameliorate severe essential tremor. Here we explore how the efficacy, efficiency and selectivity of thalamic deep brain stimulation might be improved in this condition.
